I wait and wait until..

"Next, number 5! Please come out"

Shit that's the number before me. Ok chill chill....
I take a deep breath and walk over to the girl near some curtains separating the stage with the back stage

"You must be the last girl"

I nod trying to hide my nervousness

"Ok you wait here prepare yourself and when they call your name you go on stage, maybe do a spin to show your dress and then you will talk a little about your dress and the process of making it"

All I can do is nod and she pat's me on the back as she leaves, I look at the girl who's on stage who's full of confidence and charisma, oh god what have I got myself into?

"And now for our last girl number 6! Please come out!"

Before I can finish panicking i have to go on stage, shit!! I try to collect myself and take a deep breath before I walk on the stage....
I go out and give a big smile and show of "my" hanbok with a spin

"Wow, a beautiful royal hanbok! Now tell us a little about the process of making this beautiful dress"

I freeze not knowing what to say....
Think! think! What would Min-hee say?
I look at the girl hosting and the and the crowd with a big smile

"Well since sewing and dress making is my passion I was really excited to take part in this competition, so I started very early preparing"

"And how long did it take you?"

"Almost 8 months and a little time off my studies but I managed to finish it"

"Wow 8 months! That's incredible! Give it up for number 6!"

The crowd starts clapping and I walk to the side of the stage with the other girls, my legs shaking

"Now that you had time to look at our contestants you can vote for your the person you think should be the lunar year Queen and King"

After some time~

"Ok everybody after counting the votes we have our results and our top 3 contestants!"

After so much stress I kind of black out and don't pay much attention to the results...

"And now for our number one spot! We have

Number 6 Choi Min-hee!!"

I almost jump out, not expecting "me" being at first place, the host gestured me to go on stage and claim my prize

"Everyone thank you for another wonderful year and I wish you all good luck and congratulations to our winners!"

I quickly grab the prize and after what felt 1.000.000 photos I can finally go home

"Min-j- I mean Min-hee congrats!"

I turn around to see Eun-a walking towards me, I quickly give her all the prize and flowers and start walking of

"Hey, wait! I can take you home with my car!"

She screams

"No thanks! I need some fresh air, I'll just walk home it's not that far"

"Ok just make sure you don't ruin the dress or else you know who will kill you"

I roll my eyes and walk off.
